Chapter Two: First Day at Namimori High
Tsuna was walking to school with Yamamoto and Gokudera. Yamamoto looked at Tsuna, "Isn't she going to our school today?" Tsuna just realized that he had forgotten
Yamamoto started to laugh, "You forgot?"
Tsuna looked embarrassed, Gokudera looked at Yamamoto, "Shut up baseball nut, the tenth didn't forget. Right tenth?"
"Ummm…..uhhhhh….." Tsuna muttered.
The entered the gate, she was standing there in their uniform but you could tell anywhere her ice blue hair stood out the most. "Tsuna, Yamamoto, Gokudera!!" she shouted running toward them.
"What took you so long?" she asked. "Oh, I forgot to ask, how do I look?" she said as she twirled around and smiled. Guys stopped dead in their tracks when they saw her. She looked at them, "Lets go to class, I can't be late. If Dino hears it I'll get in trouble!" she shouted dragging them.

First class- Math
The teacher gestured her to enter "Well students we have a new student, please welcome Nozomi Akatsuka." he said putting his hand out to her. "Why don't you tell everyone about yourself." he said.
Nozomi looked toward the class, "Before coming to Japan I lived in Italy. I love to write, and be around people. I've been told I am a very optimistic person, but at times I'm very realistic. I love to have fun, I play around every chance I get. But trust me you don't want to prank me, because I could get twice as bad. Well, I'd like to end it at that, but if anyone has any questions please don't be reluctant to ask questions, after class I mean. Thank you sensei." she said as she bowed to him and smiled.
"Well if that's all Miss. Akatsuka, please take a seat next to Yamamoto and Sawada." he said gesturing to the two. She looked for the two bowed and walked to her seat.
"Well class today we are studying about equations, please be sure to pay attention you'll be having a test this Friday." he said. "You also have homework today as well."
The class groaned, "Ohh, its not that hard!" he shouted.
Nozomi didn't really care, she knew the equations, she could solve them in her head. So for the rest of the class she just semi-paid attention.
-
The next to class went by very fast, and it was lunch. "Tsuna, Yamamoto, Gokudera, how about today we eat in the court?" she said running towards them. "I heard Kyoko-chan is there."
"Kyoko-chan…..how do you know?" Tsuna asked showing that he was a bit embarrassed.
"Ohhh…….Reborn-san told me, so how about it. Lets go, lets go!!" she said grabbing his arm and walking faster. Until she noticed everyone moved out of the way, " Huh, what's wrong?" she asked.
She looked back at Tsuna to see him against the wall, "Tsuna what's wrong?" Then she looked around to see a black haired guy, who wore a black coat the was draped over his shoulders walking toward them, "Huh?? Your afraid of him?"
Tsuna head shook up and down, she looked at Yamamoto, "Yo, Takeshi, who's that?"
Yamamoto looked at her, "Umm….Nozomi that is Hibari. Director of the Discipline Committee." he said to her as the black-haired guy walked past the others in the hall.
She looked at him and then at everyone else, he was walking closer as he was passing he said, "Crowding around Tsuna Sawada. I'll bite you to death." he said moving about to grab his tonfa out causing everyone to run.
She looked at Tsuna and back to him, "Hello Hibari-san." she said with a smile.
He stopped a little surprised, "Hmph…"
She was angered at his attitude and was about to snap back at him, but she turned and looked at the others, "Let's go eat lunch." she said with a smile.
As they were walking away she whispered toward Tsuna, "Would I get into trouble if I kick that guy ass?"
Tsuna jumped in front of her, "Nozomi don't pay attention that's just how he is." he said waving his hands.
"Well, okay." she said smiling.
-
They finally reached the court to see Kyoko and another girl. " Sasagawa-san, Kurokawa-san
would you mind us eating lunch with you?" Nozomi asked.
"No, your welcome to." Kyoko answered gesturing to the empty space beside her.
"Arigato." she said taking a seat.
"Well how's your first day going? Akatsuka-sun." Kyoko asked.
"Please call me Nozomi." she said with a welcoming smile.
"Okay but then you must call me Kyoko." she said smiling back.
"Deal." she said smiling at her and Hana.
"Well, my day went well, except that jerk. He really seems ruthless." she said looking rather angered.
"Ruthless guy?" Kyoko asked.
"Oh, that……..Hibari-san." Tsuna answered lowly.
"Hibari, don't worry he's mean to everyone." Hana said.
"Yes, I've heard." she said with a smile.
"Well lets change the subject, how was your life before you moved to Namimori?" Kyoko asked.
"Ummm……..it was very fun, but there I was home schooled. I feel more free here, besides it seems more interesting the longer I'm here." she said talking a bite from her food.
"Well that's good to hear." Kyoko said giggling.
Ring, Ring.
"Well, that's the bell, better get going." Kyoko said standing up and walking to the front door.
"Sayonara, Kyoko-chan, Hana-chan!!" Nozomi shouted ending with a smile.
"Yo! Nozomi, start walking your going to be left behind!" Yamamoto shouted.
"Coming, coming!!!" she shouted running toward them.
-
"Next class English Language…" Tsuna said.
"Hmm……sounds like fun lets go!!" Nozomi said running and dragging Yamamoto and Tsuna Then she saw Gokudera, and looked at both sides, "Hmm…..full. Yamamoto grab him." she said.
"Okay!" Yamamoto shouted and grabbed Gokudera.
"What the….." he said being grabbed by Yamamoto, "You baseball idiot!"
-
English Language
"Akatsuka please repeat that sentence." the teacher instructed.
"Hai." she said as she stood. "The picture is very stunning, I love the animals the most." she finished and took her seat.
"Very good Akatsuka." the teacher praised as the class applauded.
"Arigato sensei." she said bowing and taking her seat.
"Sawada, please say the next sentence." the teacher directed.
"The cat is…." he paused at he looked at Nozomi. She mouthed, 'orange and fluffy'. "The cat is orange and fluffy."
"Well done Sawada, that's a good improvement." the teacher said.
"By next semester I'll be teaching all of you how to read paragraph. Today please study this Thursday your having a test." the teacher said.
Nozomi looked at her schedule next class 'gym'. She took a sigh, 'This will be fun.'
-
"Pick up the speed Sawada!!" the teacher yelled.
Nozomi took a sigh as she turned around, and ran back to where Tsuna was. Yamamoto and Gokudera saw what she did and followed after her. She soon reached Tsuna as she moved beside him, "Come on Tsuna, you can do this. Don't degrade yourself by thinking you can't. We're going to stay beside you through everything." she said with a smile.
Somehow that smile of hers encouraged everyone around it. Tsuna found the determination to finish, and everyone still no matter what came in last with him.
-
"Kyoya-san, her name is Nozomi Akatsuka. All the school knows about her is that she lived in Italy before coming her." Kusakabe said.
"Hmmmm…….sounds interesting doesn't it." Hibari said.
"Whatever you say Kyoya-san." Kusakabe said.
" Hibari, Hibari…" said the little bird on his shoulder.
-
"Arigato everyone." Tsuna said with a smile.
'You can't run from who you are.' 'I remember those words Toshi, and I won't forget what you've taught me, what all you've taught me.' she thought.
"Nozomi, arigato." he said with a smile.
"Douitashimashite, Tsuna." she said with a smile.
"Well we have science." Tsuna said walking out of the gym door.
-
Science class went fast before they knew it was already the end of school. They walked out of the front doors and were walking to the gate. Then appeared Dino, who was waiting for them outside of the gate.
"Dino!!" Nozomi said running to him, noticing the men standing behind him, "Oh, so you guys did come with Dino, yeah if you weren't here he'd probably be in trouble by now, right Tsuna?" she said as she looked back to see Tsuna about 30 feet away.
"Well I tried calling." Dino said scratching his head.
Nozomi looked in her bag for her phone, she saw the words '10 Missed Calls', " You called me 10 times!!"
"Oh, well the first of was to check you, second was to ask how your doing, third was I pressed the button by accident, and the rest was because I was lonely and felt bored." he said rubbing his neck.
"Lonely and felt bored!!!" Nozomi shouted and jumped on top of Dino. "Really you know sometimes, just sometimes I want to kill you!!" she shouted jumping all over him.
"Nozomi please don't hurt Dino-san." Tsuna said rushing over.
Nozomi got off of Dino, "I was just kidding, this is how we always act, and he hasn't seen me in a while so, he doesn't mind right?" she said smacking his shoulder as he got up.
"Yeah, besides her slaps are soft but those punches you gotta watch out for." Dino said dusting off his pants. "Oh, so how was your first day?" he asked.
"Huh? Oh, pretty good, except him……" she said in a irritated voice.
"Him who?" he asked.
Nozomi was to angry to even say anything, "Oh, well you see Dino-san she met Hibari-san today."
Dino's eyes shot open, "Tsuna can you ummm……well make sure those two aren't near each other…" Tsuna shook his head even though he didn't really understand, "Well you see Nozomi has the attitude that she won't take crap from anyone, despite what people say she really isn't scared and I doubt Kyouya scared her."
"Oh that's why…" Tsuna started but then stopped.
"Why what……" Dino asked.
"Well you see Nozomi said, 'Would I get into trouble if I kick that guy ass?'." Tsuna repeated.
"Nozomi no! You are not to lay a hand on Kyouya….." Dino said shouting at her.
"Like I care someone needs to teach Mr. I'll-bite-you-to-death, a lesson. And sooner or later and hopefully its sooner Karma is going to bite him in the ass. You know what he is the most conceited, arrogant , obnoxious, despicable guy I've ever met. I will have nothing to do with him." she said strongly toward Dino.
"Just please ignore what he says and don't fight with him." he said.
"I'm not making any promises." Nozomi said arms crossed around her chest.
"Nozomi Emiko Akatsuka!! Please I am begging you please, I'm asking you this, just please don't fight with him." Dino begged to her, he knew how and what she was capable of.
"For him you'd beg me to……" Nozomi said with a confused tone.
"He's dangerous I'd know, and I promise to keep you safe and if that means having to force you to keep the peace with Kyoya then I will." Dino said seriously.
Nozomi started to laugh, "Ha ha ha."
Dino looked at her confused, "What's so funny."
"Right now you sound exactly Toshi. He's the only one that would say my full name when yelling at me….." her laugh turned into a frown. She just couldn't hold that pain a secret.
"Its okay. Nozomi." Dino said.
Nozomi face was serious, she had just realized what she said, "I can't be sad, because if I am I'll lose that smile. That reminds me how important they were, are." she said standing a little far from them. She just had to smile, its what kept her going.
To Dino and probably Tsuna too, she looked like an angel, with that unbreakable smile of hers. She stood strongly after all the pain she had been through and just made everyone smile and did whatever it took to make them happy.
Dino petted her head, "You know I really did worry about you."
Nozomi smiled, "Yeah I know but I'm fine that's all that matters." She turned to Tsuna, "Shall we get going? I can already hear Dino's stomach growling." she said giggling.
"Am not." he defended.
"Sure your not." she said.
Laughing all the way out of the gate, walking until they hear Yamamoto shout, "Wait up!!!" waving his hands in the air. He was carrying a lot of thing, his baseball equipment and his school things. "I thought I missed you guys." he said trying to catch his breath.
"Oh, You just finished practice." Nozomi said.
"Yeah." he said still breathing a little abnormal.
"Let me hold this." Nozomi said asking for his book bag.
"Nah, its alright." Yamamoto said.
"Your almost out of breath and I really don't mind so please." she said looking at him with hopeful eyes.
"Arigato." He said handing his bag to her.
"When I said I really don't mind I meant it." she said giggling.
Which made Yamamoto blush, Nozomi acted like she didn't notice but she actually did. She just looked up at him and smiled. "Oh, Gokudera." she said pointing to the silver-haired guy walking toward them looking annoyed.
"Oh, hello Gokudera-kun." Tsuna said.
"Tenth, you waited for me… Arigato Tenth." Gokudera said his gratitude showing.
"Well shall we go?" Nozomi asked with a smile. "I heard about this amazing pastry shop, Dino can we go please?" she asked with pleading tone.
"Uhhhh……..sure." Dino said.
"Yah!!" she said skipping her way down the sidewalk. " Come on I'm hungry!!!" she shouted toward the guys walking behind her.
-
"Did you have to buy so much cakes?" Dino asked her.
"Well I bought this one for you, this one for Tsuna, this one for Yamamoto, this one for Gokudera, then I got these for the kids, for Reborn, Bianchi and Dino the one your carrying is for mama." Nozomi said turning around to see Dino carrying a very large cake. " Maybe you should let Yamamoto hold that cake, just in case you know. Better safe then sorry."
"Yeah I know I'm clumsy, here take it I don't want Nozomi to get mad at me." Dino said handing the cake to Yamamoto.
"Oh, Arigato." Yamamoto said with a smile.
"Okay lets get back now." Nozomi said.
"Okay!!" Yamamoto shouted.
-
"We're home!!" shouted Tsuna.
"Tsu-kun dinners ready." Nana shouted from the kitchen.
"Sumimasen, but we brought desert." Nozomi said with a smile. As they carried in a large cake and then about 6 bags of mini cakes.
"Oh, you didn't have to, Nozomi." Nana said feeling a little bad.
"Yes I know but I wanted to. So I bought cake for everyone." she said with a smile.
"Cake." Lambo said in a cute baby voice and hopped into Nozomi's arms along with I-Pin.
"I know you two would so I bought yours special." she said smiling down at them.
"Fuuta, Tsuna where's Fuuta?" Lambo asked looking over her shoulder.
"Oh, I'm sorry there's another kid, how silly where is he?" she asked looking around.
"Oh, Fuuta is in the backyard." Nana said.
"Mama…" a little brown-haired boy came shouting in.
Nozomi walked up to him, Lambo and I-Pin still in her arms, she bent down as she said " Konichiwa, Fuuta-san." with a smile.
"Konichiwa." he said offering a smile back.
"Well I bought lots of cake, and I doubt Lambo and I-Pin can finish it on their own how's about you eat some with us?" she asked still smiling at him.
"Hai." he said smiling.
She put her hand out and gentle took his and walked to the table. He took the seat beside her, she cut the cake and it surprised them that Lambo didn't dive into the cake.
-
"She's really good." Tsuna said watching how Nozomi acted around the kids.
"Yes, Nozomi does very well with kids, animals practically anyone and anything." Dino replied.
"But she doesn't really get along with Hibari." Yamamoto stated.
Gokudera, Tsuna and Dino looked at him and said at the same time, "Does anyone?"
"Well…." Yamamoto said.
"Tsuna, Dino, Hayato, Takeshi come have some cake." Nozomi shouted from the kitchen.
They turned to see Lambo and I-Pin on one side of her lap and Fuuta on the other. Oh, how cute they looked. "What are you guys okay? You've been standing there for quite some time." she said.
"No." they replied and walked to the kitchen to eat some cake.
"So Nozomi can we go to the park this weekend?" Fuuta asked.
"Well it is a weekend, how's about we go get something to eat and then go to the park?" she asked looking at the kids. "Any of you guys want to come?"
"Gomen, Nozomi I have some business to do." Dino said feeling a little bad.
"Don't worry some other time." she said smiling and patting him on the back.
"I have to study with Kyoko tomorrow." Tsuna said.
"And I have some things to do." Gokudera said.
"Well, I don't have practice I can follow you." Yamamoto said just realizing how happy that made her.
"Arigato Takeshi." she said smiling.
After eating everyone had gone home. Tsuna walked up the stairs to his room. When he opened the door, he walked to his bed lazily, as he dropped his body on the bed. Sleep took him over instantly.
